Are you aware of the metal detecting site treasureclassifieds.com? I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with it, as it’s been around for some time, but for those of you who aren’t, let me share a bit about what this site has to offer. Read More »

If you live in the Northeast, you may have been faced with the frustration of trying to locate a metal detector dealer where you can physically purchase detectors and equipment, and that is not just an online website.

Wouldn’t it be great to actually shop in a store who’s business is metal detectors? One that is actually open when you get there, and is not just a corner display in a hobby shop?

Well in case you didn’t know, there is such a shop—The Gold Digger Metal Detectors, in Raritan, NJ.

If you’re looking to purchase a machine from someone with hands on experience, The Gold Digger is the place. The owner, Ron DeGhetto, has been detecting for over 35 years and has experience with all major brands of detectors. His knowledge is helpful to both the beginner and seasoned detectorist, and honestly, wouldn’t you rather buy a machine from someone who is knowledgeable about the products he is selling?

The new Gold Digger store is impressive! Machines line the walls, along with everything else a detectorist might need. And of course, behind the counter, there’s Ron, a man with the patience of a Saint, and a friendly, helpful demeanor to match.

You can get your questions answered and the machines explained and demonstrated right in front of you—so much more personal than a picture and description on a website!

Ron keeps up with the latest technology and stays informed on what’s going on in the detecting community. He’s an active member in local metal detecting clubs, a board member of The Task Force for Metal Detecting Rights, and was among the first in the world to be awarded a certificate in Electronic Archaeology, being personally invited to Montpelier for training.

In addition, he has hosted Minelabs “Go Minelabbing” beach hunt in New Jersey for the past two years, and is currently going on year three.

If you don’t live in the area, you can always purchase items on their website at www.golddiggermetaldetectors.com. If you don’t see something you’re looking for online, give them a call—they are very accommodating, and it just might be available for shipping to you. And as Ron says “…Chances are, if we don’t have it, you don’t need it”!

I also want to mention that Gold Digger is the authorized US distributor for the high performance NEL Coils everyone has been talking about. You can check out the NEL Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/NELCoilsUSA/.

“NEL-Coils are high performance search coils designed to be used with most major brand metal detectors. There is great demand for search coils that are stable, sensitive and give more depth than stock search coils – We tested these coils and found them to be far superior to stock and other after market coils. Some stock search coils do not work well in difficult ground conditions. They can be noisy and give false signals even at moderate sensitivity levels. With the NEL-Coils you will find that your machine is more stable and able to run at a higher sensitivity level. NEL-Coils are manufactured like no other coils on the market today – They are perfectly balanced, tuned and made to last. There are several sizes available to suit your hunting needs: NEL Sharp: 5 inch round (13cm) NEL Sharpshooter: 9.5″ x 5.5″ (24 cm x 14 cm) NEL Hunter: 12.5″ x 8.5″ (31.7 cm x 22 cm) NEL Tornado: 12″ x 13″ (30.5 cm x 33 cm) NEL BIG: 15″ x 17″ (38 cm x 45.7 cm)”
